Leonid & Friends bring the music of Chicago to The Egg in Albany on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 at 7:30 PM. If you’ve seen their YouTube videos, you already know — this band is something else entirely.
About Leonid & Friends
Leonid & Friends started as a group of Russian musicians posting covers of Chicago’s catalog on YouTube, and the videos went viral for good reason — the horn arrangements are flawless, the vocal harmonies are locked in, and the musicianship is staggering. What began as a YouTube curiosity became a full-blown touring act, and they’ve been filling theaters across the U.S. with audiences who can’t believe how faithfully they recreate some of the most complex arrangements in rock history. “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” — all delivered with the precision the originals demand.
If you want to revisit the source material, Chicago’s catalog on Amazon is a great place to start — then compare it to what Leonid & Friends do live.
The Venue
The Egg’s acoustics are tailor-made for a band with this many moving parts — horns, keys, guitars, vocals all need room to breathe, and this venue delivers that. The Hart Theatre puts you close to the stage in a setting that feels more like a private performance than a concert. Downtown Albany, Empire State Plaza, easy to get to from anywhere in the Capital Region. Full Egg venue guide here.
